The name of late legal legend Howard Weitzman will no longer be on the door of the firm he co-founded, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. It’s a move that his family feels is an attempt to erase his legacy.
Weitzman, whose work for infamous automaker John DeLorean made him a household name in the mid-1980s, spent decades representing some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Michael Jackson, O.J. Simpson, Marlon Brando, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Justin Bieber and Chuck Lorre. He died in April 2021 after quietly battling cancer.
The firm, which will now be known as Kinsella Holley Iser Kump and Steinsapir, reached out to Weitzman’s family over the holiday weekend to let them know the change was coming. Its new domain — khiks.com — was registered back in March, according to Icann.

Charles Manson had an easy explanation for why he ordered the deaths of the family of Leno Labianca and residents at Sharon Tate’s house at the hands of his “Family”: “It’s the Beatles, the music they’re putting out,” he told the district attorney who sent him to death row. “These kids listen to this music and pick up the message. It’s subliminal.”
A half-century has passed since the Manson Family carried out the brutal, stunning Tate-labianca murders in August of 1969, and their supposed link to the Beatles remains confounding.

This post contains spoilers for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which is now in theaters.
Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, the latest epic from Quentin Tarantino, is not, as you may already know, a historically accurate depiction of the Manson Family murders. Given the director’s work, it’s not all that surprising; as evidenced by Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained, revisiting historical atrocities and making sure the good guys win (and in as badass, comically violent a fashion as possible) is kind of his thing.

Negotiations are underway to fill out the cast of Quentin Tarantino’s next film “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood,” with Burt Reynolds in talks to play George Spahn, the ranch owner who rented his land out to Charles Manson and his cult, studio sources have confirmed to TheWrap.
Longtime Tarantino collaborators Tim Roth, Kurt Russell, and Michael Madsen are also in talks to play minor roles in the film. All three actors starred in Tarantino’s previous film, “The Hateful Eight,” and between them share credits in other Tarantino films like “Kill Bill,” “Reservoir Dogs,” and “Death Proof.” Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt are already signed on to star in the film.
Spahn was the owner of a ranch in Los Angeles that was regularly used during the Golden Age of Hollywood as a set for Westerns. In the late 1960s, Charles Manson persuaded Spahn to allow him and his cult to stay at the ranch, where the murder of Sharon Tate was allegedly planned.
